ANC not for sale - Ramaphosa
Johannesburg - Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa issued a stern warning on Wednesday night to those attempting to use their deep pockets to influence leaders within the ruling party.
"The ANC is not for sale. The ANC refuses to be captured... Those who want to capture the ANC and influence it... you have come to the wrong address," he said.
His statement comes after questions arose about President Jacob Zuma's close relationship with the Gupta family last week. The wealthy family had reportedly exercised undue influence by offering senior ANC members Cabinet posts.
During the ANC summit for academic and business, Ramaphosa told attendees the ANC had set up a structure that was going to tackle the issue of state capture.
He said a people were already streaming into ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe's office with information.
